Content of review 1, reviewed on June 19, 2023

This is a brilliant paper of wide interest. It is easy to read, very concise, with nice illustrations and methods. It is the first based on AHE data for a broadly sampled Curculioninae, the flower weevils, where a great majority of weevil phylogenetic uncertainties is found. The authors have assembled a great and informative data set and report in detail on how they examine and qualify the data for final analyses. Although the conclusions can be read more or less directly from the tree, the authors make some attemps on formalizing tests on the origin of larval feeding substrates. The paper conclude convincingly about the repeated evolution of fascinating life styles but also argues strongly for reclassifications and how we need to see these weevils with different eyes.

A few minor corrections.
classification system: perhaps I overlooked it, but please state which system is used (Oberprieler et al, or Alonsos Zarazaga and Lyal, or older).
Line 306: 26.5 K ... sites, do you mean 26.500 pars inf sites?, and 29.900 variable sites?
Line 327: ... (parT)
Line 328 and elsewehere, including some figures: the use of '-itae' is unusual and most readers are not familiar with the term for supertribe. Please explain at first mention.
Line 394: AcalyPTini
Line 454: 'paving an avenue' sounds a bit too much - 'paves the way' better ...

Refs, line 641: Beza# should be Beza, C.F.
Refs, line 661: a duplication of McKenna et al 2019, listed as Minh et al 2019.

Figures: there is a mix of tribes, supertribes and subfamilies. Please revise to make sure the proper category is used.
In Fig. 2 Ceutorhynchitae and Scolytinae becomes Ceutorhynchini and Scolytini whis is too narrow.
